Section 5(2)(b): Opposition Successful
Points Of Interest
Summary
The opposition was based on the opponents’ CTM, IMAGE AND BEYOND , in Classes 9, 35, 38 and 41. The Hearing Officer described the applied for specification as “cryptic in terms of meaning”, and was forced to rely reluctantly on the judgement of a French court in parallel opposition proceedings. This appeared to confirm that identical goods were involved. He found the marks to be “similar to a significant, but not the highest degree”. Overall, he found a likelihood of confusion and the opposition succeeded accordingly.
